Natural Tools and Inks

It's been a pretty warm week here in Calgary and I decided to spend yesterday morning wandering around our garden gathering interesting objects to make marks with. I've made natural tools before in the forest but I was excited to see what my own garden would offer. I made some ink from berries that we harvested last summer (and froze) and I also added a little coffee ink. This is such a satisfying process.

About Me

I am an artist, nature-lover and homeschooling mom.
I am deeply inspired by the changing seasons and the colors, textures and designs of the natural world.
I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Coming home with dirt on my jeans and an arm full of roots and sticks is a sign of a good day.
For most of my adult life I've been committed to protecting the environment and the wild places that I love. When my first son was born 8 years ago I had an opportunity to focus on my art and connect with the natural world in a wonderful new way.
Thanks for joining me on this journey.
